Question

If you have no clue don't answer. i said over the counter. not at the vet. thanks

Actually i do know what kind of worms she has. I was told the kind at the supermarket do work. Otherwise i will be paying $100 at the vet.

Answer 1

Actually there are many. Brandnames are not important, but active ingredients are important.
Two of the most common ingredients and most effective ones are Fenbendazole and Pyrantel Pamoate.

If you are not sure of what worms or if the dog hasn't been regularly wormed then Fenbendazole is the chemical you would choose first. It is sold under a few brandnames, one of them is panacur. If you can't find that, then just be sure to read all the labels under ingredients. Fenbendazole kills worms in the gut and migrating larvae including tape worms. Many vets give Fenbendazole in a three day round, others only do it once. You can make your own decision on that.

The second common wormer ingredient is Pyrantel Pamoate. It kills strongids in the gut. It is also sold under many brandnames. It doesn't kill as many types of worms, but is safe for young puppies and expectant females. It will kill hookworms and roundworms.

Just read the labels under ingredients. You might have better luck finding a good wormer at a farm supply store rather than a department store, but they are available in both places. Dogs should be wormed once a month. The Heartguard you get from the vet has two types of wormers in it, one of them is pyrantel.

Of course if you still see the dog passing worms after using these, you would need to talk to the vet about a round of ivermectin. That is more difficult to dose, so you will need dosing advice. But, Yes, it is certainly possible to safely worm your dog with OTC full spectrum wormers.

Someone mentioned praziquantal. That is used for tapeworms, but not others. It is a bit more expensive. If the dog has fleas or had them, then I would use Fenbendazole first. You can do it for three consecutive days, and it will kill tapeworms in the three day cycle. It's cheaper, and has the advantage of being a wider spectrum wormer.

Answer 5

For roundworms anything with pyrantel pamoate. Nemex and Anthelban are two brands. You won't find it in the stores but you can buy it mail order. Two companies that sell it are Jeffers and UPCO. For heartworm you can use 1% ivermectin labeled for cattle. It is the same active ingredient as Heartguard. Once a month give about 1/2 cc for a 50 pound dog. Mix it with his food. Whipworms can be treated with Panacure. Jeffers and UPCO carry all this stuff. You might get it at a feed store or livestock supply store.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU2gd

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Answer 8

Not sure where you live, but even 'Petsmart' (a HUGE pet store chain) doesn't carry worm medicines. Reason being is there are many types of worms and only the vet can determine the proper medication. The meds at the vets are cheap and work excellent. IF you happen to have a store that carries the medications..I wouldn't trust it. You;ll be spending money for nothing. It is a sad truth. In fact, when I had my dogs medicated for fleas..it was cheaper at the vets then the store stuff. And it worked. The flea collars only work in the area around the neck so that is useless. Just an example.

Good luck.

Everyone is telling you the truth we can't tell you the kind to get when we don't know what kind of worms it has if you give it the wrong kind your pet will still have worms call a vet tell them what the worms look like and they will be able to you what is the best wormier for your pet

Answer 10

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tinyurl.im/B4dHy

If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.

It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.
